Field Trip to the Zoo - Page 2 - Nubblies.net Forums

That's too bad since we were planning on leaving around 10 or 11, right guys?

sim_flex_x · 07-30-2004, 02:30 AM

in all honesty is it a better idea to leave earlier, but we'll see.

StabMaster Arson · 07-31-2004, 02:08 AM

so, I forgot to request that day off and now it's too late. I guess it's up to fate if I get to go.

Schroeder · 07-31-2004, 02:39 AM

Sorry to break everybody's hearts, but their will be no brain damaged monkey on our journey. This monkey resides in a zoo near Tel Aviv, Israel.

One bizarre story

StabMaster Arson · 07-31-2004, 02:57 AM

I guess I need to watch closer, eh?

I saw a braindamaged monkey, I saw it was fort wayne news... I guess I got excited and jumped to conclusions.

thanks for outing it scroter, now no one will go

No brain damaged monkey!

StabMaster Arson · 08-02-2004, 07:19 PM

it's less than a week away, kids. let's try to get some details and a full head count.

Orgazmo · 08-02-2004, 09:33 PM

Good call.

I'm going to throw out some details...but I'm making them up 100% on the fly...so feel free to suggest amendments as you (yes, you) see fit.

Firstly and foremostly, it has been suggested by some (and rightfully so) that many folks attending the zoo get together will have differing agendas once the zoo festivities have come to an end. Because of this, heavy carpooling just isn't a good idea. Planning a fun, full day at the fort (which includes after-zoo activities) with some friends definitely is a good idea, though. Because of that, it's encouraged that everyone separately decides who they'll be hauling/riding with. It just makes sense, folks.

That said, it also makes sense that, since we're not necessarily going to be all going up together (hell, some of us already live in the fort...and others may be going up earlier to begin a fun day or something...), we should have a meeting spot...or two. I think it'd be nice to have two meeting spots: one in warsaw and one at the zoo. My suggestions? The bakery store thing beside the Shell station on 30 for the warsaw meeting place and the bench just after you pay for your ticket (right in front of the gift shop) at the zoo.

The first meeting spot is simply for Nubblite comradery. Driving with a small caravan of vehicles would just be kinda cool. It's only useful function is to help the second meeting spot to be a bit more effective.

The second meeting spot, on the other hand, is very necessary. Without it, we're all enjoying the zoo separately...and, before you konw it, the Nubblies Field Trip has turned into a normal field trip (without capitalization).

My suggested times for each meeting spot? 12:00 = the Warsaw meeting spot / 1:00 = the zoo meeting spot.

If anyone has anything to add to the NFT...or if anyone thinks any of the above is complete horsepiss, please speak up. I'm sure I'm not that only one that would like to see this thing running as smoothly as possible.

Now for the head count...

Everyone reading this post should put their name in one of the four following categories:

I will be there. I'd wager my genitalia on that.

I will very much most likely be there...but I don't want to wager my genitalia.

I may be there...we'll just have to wait and see.

I won't be there...I'm a jew bastard.

Go ahead and add your name where it belongs.

So, who else sees this being a three person trip?

----------------------
VOL Dumb-down

People seem not to be as excited as they originally seemed, so it may not be as good of a turn out as we had expected.

sim_flex_x · 08-05-2004, 08:23 AM

I can, and that kinda makes me sad. I had high hopes for this trip. But let's face it, there have been many similar events that started out big and ended up being very small. oh well, its the zoo, which means I'll have fun anyway.

Saint DH · 08-05-2004, 01:47 PM

I'm going to be honest and tell you that I get off work at 11:00 on Saturday and I am going to try to make it.

Orgazmo · 08-05-2004, 02:02 PM

One person that I have seen very little of in the past few months is Dirty Harry. I'd love nothing more than the zoo trip to change that.

Schroeder · 08-06-2004, 08:02 PM

From sure bet to jew bastard in no time. count me out. (stupid family)

StabMaster Arson · 08-06-2004, 08:07 PM

Scrote, you're disappointing me here. I don't think you want to disappoint me.

Orgazmo · 08-06-2004, 09:50 PM

In the case that anybody is doubting that this is going ot happen or anything...doubt not. Everything is still scheduled to happen as outlined in this thread. Furthermore, no matter what you said about your attendence, you're more than welcome to join us.

A bit after noon, I'll be departing from the Bakery thing...as stated in the outline's post. Hopefully there will be a number of you following. If you're not there...but you still want to go, just try to be just inside of the main entrance ~1:00. If you can't do that, make a post or something and we'll figure something out...or you could always just phone someone who is planning on being there for a meeting setup.

There it is.

The weather is supposed to be absolutely beautiful. Why don't you come to the zoo with us?

StabMaster Arson · 08-06-2004, 09:57 PM

gaz, call me when you get close. I'm sure you've heard of my automobilic woes, but rest assured, I will drive one of my cars or take the bus to be there.
